In a whirlwind of drama and courtroom skits, the rap industry finds itself tangled in a new controversy. Rap legend 50 Cent has ignited the internet once again with an accusation that people donning ‘Free Diddy’ shirts outside court might be on Diddy’s payroll.
Outside the buzzing Manhattan courtroom of Diddy’s ongoing trial, a sea of black ‘Free Diddy’ shirts has become a common sight. However, according to 50 Cent, these supporters might not be there out of genuine allegiance. He took to Instagram, suggesting that the hourly rate for these performances might be $20, even joking about participating for the paycheck himself.
While Diddy’s camp remains silent on these claims, 50 Cent continues to entertain and provoke with his sharp social media commentary. He humorously suggested the potential for over-the-top consequences like the death penalty for his longstanding rival. This jest follows 50’s critique of past management claims involving former associates of Diddy, including James Cruz.
Not holding back, 50 Cent also revisited past accusations against Cruz, alleging a drug problem and more unsavory rumors involving him and Diddy. Back in 2022, he had already stirred the pot with claims about Cruz’s questionable involvement in the industry, notably denying Cruz’s impact on his own career.
Diddy’s trial seems to be as much a platform for these celebrity spats as it is a legal proceeding, with the rap mogul’s friends and family caught in the swirling gossip and speculation. As the trial continues, the charged atmosphere outside the courtroom reflects divisions within the hip-hop community.
As Diddy’s trial unfolds, 50 Cent’s quips add an unpredictable element to the scene. Whether his claims about the hired ‘Free Diddy’ supporters hold water or not, they underscore the theatrical nature of the spectacle surrounding the trial. Fans and onlookers alike are left wondering what twist will come next in this high-profile saga.
